Something I've said since I was in my teens, I blame the clash of Southern Manitoban Plattdeutsch and growing up in a mostly Métis town.

Fascinating, I didn't know that variation existed. You don't even need Platt for the "ge-", it's standard German. Can you do this with any verb's past participle?

Learning German some 25 years ago we used to use words like "gebrötchen" to mean "a bread roll I had just eaten".

It was funny at the time.
